LCL sea freight from China to Croatia — 2026 reference rates
Croatia's Adriatic ports are served from four South China origins, with Rijeka, Split, Zagreb and Dubrovnik all fed through Koper — except Zhuhai, which consolidates direct to Rijeka in about 22 days, the fastest connection on the lane.
As an EU entry point, Koper triggers an ENS filing of USD 25 per bill of lading on every service.
How to read these rates: figures are indicative reference levels for port-to-port LCL ocean freight, updated for October 2026. They exclude origin haulage, warehouse and customs charges, destination port charges and any surcharges. Space, cut-off times and rates must be re-confirmed at booking.

Shenzhen is the value origin: USD 26–35 per CBM across all four destinations, undercutting Hong Kong by USD 15–35.
The Hong Kong–Split rate in the source tariff (USD 12) looks understated for this lane; treat it as a reference floor and re-confirm at booking. Zhuhai's direct Rijeka service is the premium option — fastest, but roughly triple the Shenzhen rate.
Koper transit versus direct Rijeka
Koper is the Adriatic consolidation hub: cheaper, weekly, and 27–28 days. Zhuhai's direct box reaches Rijeka in 22 days but at USD 80 per CBM — a price paid for exclusivity and speed. For most shippers the Shenzhen service is the rational default.
Zagreb and inland points
Zagreb is inland; both the Shenzhen and Zhuhai services price it through Koper or Rijeka with a short trucking leg. Dubrovnik, at the far south, carries a small premium over Split for the same reason.
